[C2hs] Re: [Haskell-cafe] more problems with c2hs

[Ruben Zilibowitz]

Thanks for pointing to the appropriate mailing list. This is what  
appears to be happening.
file.chs has a line: #include "file.h"
After running:
c2hs file.chs
file.h gets modified so that it contains just:
#include "file.h"

So I lose the contents of file.h every time I run c2hs! Running cpp - 
x c file.h by itself doesn't have that effect so the problem must be  
caused by c2hs somehow. What is wrong with my c2hs? Perhaps the darcs  
version has some bugs in it.
